However, there is no public record of Gates making these remarks. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Microsoft founder — who has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the fight against the novel coronavirus — has been the target of many false or misleading allegations, including about forced population control. His foundation has repeatedly refuted these claims. The video featuring US naturopath Robert O. Young — who was jailed for illegally practising medicine — has circulated tens of thousands of times across multiple social media platforms in South Africa on January 11, 2021. This tweet was shared and liked hundreds of times. “Mandating vaccines is part of depopulation plan. Check Dr Robert O Young testimony (sic),” reads the post featuring the 30-second video clip. “For the purpose of sterilisation and population control, there’s too many people on the planet we need to get rid of. In the words of Bill Gates, at least three billion people need to die,” Young says in the clip. “These are Bill Gates words. Just Google Bill Gates and depopulisation (sic) and sterilisation. You’ll hear out of his own mouth the plan.” Young was speaking as part of a panel organised by the International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ) — a group that holds unsanctioned “hearings” on subjects ranging from child trafficking to the alleged effects of 5G. On its website, the ITNJ details its vision as “a world in which the Earth is honoured; Truth is spoken; Love is the basis of all action; and Justice is an organic, self-fulfilling function of respect for natural law.” The organisation says its aim is to apprehend “the abuses and tyranny of systems and institutions; restore truth and reason to the delivery of justice in the world.” No trace of depopulation planYouTube channel on November 20, 2019. Various other clips from the panel discussion were shared thousands of times in multiple Facebook posts, including here and here. In the first 90 minutes of the video, Young makes unsubstantiated claims that viruses are not real, vaccines are poison, and that alkaline can be used to cure any ailment. A basic Google keyword search did not reveal any trace of Gates ever making any public comments about plans to reduce the world population by killing Africans. It is not the first time that these unfounded claims swirl around social media. Gates’s ideas on population growth The claim appears to find its roots in the misinterpretation of a speech Gates gave on carbon emissions over a decade ago. During a TED Talk in February 2010, he discussed reducing global population growth through new vaccines and improved healthcare in order to lower carbon emissions. “The world today has 6.8 billion people, that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent,” he said. Gates was talking about cutting global population growth by “10 or 15 percent” to reduce carbon emissions, rather than reducing the actual population. In 2009, Gates recommended using vaccines to reduce child mortality rates. He argued that increasing the chance of a child surviving to adulthood and encouraging parents to have smaller families would create “a virtuous cycle” that lifted countries “out of poverty.” Gates said that some parents choose to have many children as a way to offset high child mortality. Below is a brief YouTube video from 2012 where Gates explains how population growth in underdeveloped countries can be mitigated. The Gates Foundation has repeatedly rejected the depopulation claim. “We are concerned about the conspiracy theories being spread online and the damage they could cause to public health,” its spokesperson told AFP Fact Check in October 2020. “At a time like this, when the world is facing an unprecedented health and economic crisis, it’s distressing that there are people creating and sharing misinformation when we should all be looking for ways to collaborate and save lives.” To date, the Gates Foundation has pledged $1.75 billion to fight the pandemic. Jail for illegally practising medicine Young is the author of a bestselling book series called “The pH Miracle,” which peddles an alkaline diet as a cure for cancer. In 2017, the American was jailed for practising medicine without a license. As part of his plea deal, Young had to admit publicly that he is not a “microbiologist, haematologist, medical or naturopathic doctor or trained scientist,” according to the San Diego Union- Tribune. In 2018, he was ordered to pay $105 million to a cancer patient who testified that Young presented himself as a doctor and advised her to forgo traditional medical treatment. In the video, Young alleges to have proof that those who testified against him when he was jailed were bribed to do so. Poster Comment: I knew and old boy out here who made Colloidal Silver at home. One time that I know of, someone brought a loved one to see him that was a terminal cancer patient. He would pour a quart of that solution down their throat every day. A couple of months later they went to see their doctor and there was no trace of the cancer. That old boy passed away a few years back now. I heard his daughter moved here but did not like living here. She sold the property and moved back to where she came from. Didn't Bill Gates fly on Jeffery Epstein's Lolita Express? And if it weren't for modern western medicine and farming the population of Africa would still be in the toilet.
